quit smoking

I am a smoker and I am trying to quit I'm down to five a day or six. Any of y'all have trouble quitting. Any tips or things that would help?

Or the fact every time you are inhailing that cancer stick it's like you have your hand around your baby's neck choking it

This might not work for everyone but it helped me.  I would eat a few spoonfuls of yogurt when start to crave a cigarette.  Then as soon as I'm done eating,  I'd light up and it tasted horrible in my mouth every time because of the yogurt. Finally smoking just didn't appeal to me anymore. I know it's weird,  but it might help.

I quit cold turkey and I use to chain smoke I'm 11 weeks now and feel better ^^^

Go and see your doctor because sometimes it does more harm to quit cold turkey.

Coming from a former smoker don't ever 'reward' yourself with cigarettes. Ie: I haven't smoked all day, therefore I should be able to smoke 2 cigarettes later. I quit cold turkey. It was extremely hard and it took almost a year before I didn't think of smoking daily. I used this website and spent time reading it over. It helped me so much. I carried a pack of cigarettes with me for the first 3 months. I needed to know I was making the choice NOT to smoke rather then thinking I couldn't smoke. Never cheated once. Www.whyquit.com
Good luck!

With my first I didn't even think twice about picking up another cigarette.
My second I had two or three before I finally put them down.
This time around I am trying really hard but it is alot more difficult. I haven't bought any but if there's one laying around from the bf or our roommate chances are I will smoke it. I know that didn't help but just so you know you aren't alone in the struggle.

I used to smoke 20 a day when I fell pregnant with my first child.
I had one "oh my God I'm pregnant" cigarette and then a "last one" and that was it.I just kept telling myself I was growing this baby and had to do everything I could to give it the best start in life so to carry on smoking would be very selfish.It worked for me and am still smoke free but we are all different! Wish you lots of luck xx
